A Dream Come True
Gary Lothrop from Forestburgh, NY about Snowdog: You have designed an amazing machine and one I am sure us older fellows will fall in love with.
It’s only been a couple of months since Gary got his Snowdog and it has already changed his life to the better.
- I am an older fellow and love to hunt deer and ice fish in my retirement. I have had many different off road vehicles such as ATVs and UTVs but these are just too costly to buy, keep running and store in limited space. You have made my dream come true.
I bought the Standard B13 ME model. I needed a mule to do the heavy work and I sure did get it. It works on land, snow and frozen lakes and much better than I expected. It gave me life on days when I normally just sit home wishing I could be fishing or hunting but my younger friends who do the heavy lifting and pulling are at work. I think of the Snowdog as a tool and not a toy.
My first adventure was to my favorite ice fishing lake. It was 8 inches of clear black and very slippery ice with absolutely no snow. I was worried about getting on the lake and not being able to go without a studded track. WOW was I completely surprised when the dog just walked all over the lake pulling my sled shanty with at least 200 pounds of gear and almost no traction issues at all. The only place I had any problem was getting off the flat ice and up the very icy launch ramp, studs would have been good there. My next trip was to the same lake but now it had 6 inches of fresh snow on top. The dog was even better on the snow covered ice and went right up the ramp pulling all my gear and never even worked hard. I took my sled shanty plus two of my pals` sled shanties towed behind and I bet the load was well over 400 pounds. Again the dog just went like a locomotive pulling a heavy train. My buddies laughed saying no way and then they got amazed and thrilled. I had to see how it would do going through the woods behind my house to my deer stand. We have about a foot of snow now and I almost quit hunting because I can’t drag a deer out if I get one. Now I will have no such problem and wish I bought it sooner. I can’t wait to drag my kayak back to a few remote lakes that I just could not get too last year with my gear once the ice is out.
As a real bonus, my younger buddies still like to go fast and play once we get set up fishing, and they all had a blast taking turns buzzing around the lake while I caught dinner.
You have designed an amazing machine and one I am sure us older fellows will fall in love with as they become more popular. This is a tiny tank and fits a lot of uses year around. Well done!
